Orléanists

The Orleanists was a conservative faction of politics in France that existed from 1814 to 1885. The faction originated as a liberal movement that sought a return to the constitutional monarchy of the 1790s, opposing the Legitimists of King Louis XVIII of France. In 1830, the Orleanists seized power in the July Revolution, with Louis Philippe I of France coming to power as a result of the popular uprising against the absolute monarchy. The Orleanists would become a conservative faction of politics, supporting state Catholicism, a strong military, and a protected laissez-faire economy. When Napoleon III of France seized power in 1848, the Orleanists were forced into exile, and they were disbanded with the fall of Napoleon in 1870. In 1883, the death of Henri, Count of Chambord ended the Orleanist party.
